Global Financial Firm Credit Suisse had more Nazi-linked accounts than previously known: probe

A Senate Budget Committee investigation has revealed Swiss lender Credit Suisse had more Nazi-linked accounts than previously known and obscured such information in the past. 

An investigation into Credit Suisse’s World War II-era accounts, led by committee Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and ranking member Chuck Grassley, R-IA, brought to light tens of thousands of documents that show “extensive” evidence of previously undisclosed Nazi-linked accounts at Credit Suisse, according to a committee news release Saturday

The bank, now owned by UBS, engaged in a “pattern of obstruction” by not fully disclosing such information during past investigations, the committee said.

In reviewing Credit Suisse’s private archives, Neil Barofsky, the independent ombudsman overseeing the investigation, and his team have made “significant discoveries” and “identified previously undiscovered banking relationships” at Credit Suisse and its predecessor banks, he wrote in a Dec. 17 letter to Grassley and Whitehouse.

That includes “scores of individuals and legal entities connected to Nazi atrocities,” Barofsky, a partner at law firm Jenner & Block, wrote in the interim update to the committee. “The Investigation has also identified accounts for several hundred alleged Nazi intermediaries who helped Nazis to hide gold, camouflage illicit transactions to purchase war materials, loot Jewish assets, including through the aryanization of Jewish businesses, and generally support the Nazi war economy.”

After concerns were raised by Jewish human rights organization the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Credit Suisse hired Barofsky in 2021 to probe its history of Nazi links; the bank then fired him in 2022, after “unsuccessfully pressuring” Barofsky to “limit his investigation,” the Senate Budget Committee release said.

Barofsky was reinstated in 2023 – after UBS completed its acquisition of Credit Suisse – as a result of the Senate committee’s investigation.

Someone’s getting ready to shake-down UBS for some walking-around money.

At some point, people will figure out that the Nazis, when they were on the losing end, sought to sublimate the systems to their philosophy. It is no accident than prominent Nazis ended up in prominent positions after the war.

Germany definitely lost the war.
But I think the Nazis won.

It's easy to be on the right side of history when you're "fighting" for what's right today.

If you want to make grounds against people claiming today to be of the superior Aryan race, be bold enough to tell Iran to change their name back to Persia.

Just about every bank in Switzerland that existed before 1920 had a lot of dealings with the Nazi government. In fact, that was how the Nazis financially dealt with the outside world frequently even before World War II started.

Most WW2 Nazi’s are now dead... So I guess the bank now gets the money? When you consider interest... Hitler’s account must be massive.

Communist North Korea is fighting alongside Russia in the biggest European war since WWII as they invade a European neighbor, and the entire Pacific is under threat from the growing Communist war machine and blue water navy, a huge portion of the world’s population is still under Communist domination, and we are treating the long dead Nazi party as though it is a vibrant, spreading, dominate force that threatens us all.

It would be appreciated if they were more interested in communists than defunct German political parties.

“Guess it works for the grifter orgs who plan to capitalize on Nazi ghosts for all time”

If your relatives had their money stolen you might feel differently

My “relatives” HAVE had their lands, homes, treasures, food and very lives stolen... in my lifetime.

Do you even have the very first clue as to what are talking talking about, ignoramous?
